St. James parish was established in 1868 and was the first Episcopal congregation in the city. The present church building was designed by the architectural firm of Austin & Parker in the Gothic Revival style. It was completed in 1894. The parish hall was completed in 1920. ''Note:'' This includes . Initially, the parish was part of the Diocese of Indiana and became a part of the Diocese of Michigan City when Indiana was split by the 1898 General Convention. Trinity Church in Michigan City was chosen as the diocesan cathedral at the first diocesan convention on April 25, 1899. It served that purpose until November 4, 1917, when it ceased being a cathedral. The name of the diocese was changed to the Diocese of Northern Indiana on May 20, 1919. St. James Church became the diocesan cathedral on January 30, 1957. Former mayor of South Bend Pete Buttigieg has been a parishioner at St. James since 2010.
